Photos for Constructing your own Ghillie Suit
There are so many pictures of Ghillie Suits in the field. When I first started looking for information on how to make my own Ghillie Suit I could not find any close up pictures of them. Most of the directions were text based and lacked pictures. In fact, our directions don’t show photos either, but there are links to these picture pages. Please check our blog often as I will be continually posting detailed pictures of ghillie suits.
On this blog I want to eventually post pictures of all of our products on this blog. The pictures below are from the Ghillie Suit Face Veil. It’s also known as the Ghillie Suit Small Pack Cover. This is a 2′x3′ net covered with jute. This is a great all purpose Ghillie Accessory because it can be used to conceal any small to medium object.
You will notice that there are many white spaces in the photo above. It is very important not to over jute your suit because you need the empty voids to create the 3-D effect. If you put too many jute threads on your suit, it will begin to look like a fur coat instead of a ghillie suit.
Here are pictures of the netting and jute. You can see the quality construction. These are all hand made. I hope these pictures will help the people who are constructing their own ghillie suits. You can buy a ghillie kit which comes with the netting and jute that you see below.

Does any one know, is there a specific kind of knot used to tie the jute to the netting?

How many knots per square?
By Mason on Mar 29, 2009
One knot per square at the most. If you look at the pics you can see that we skip rows.

How should I arrange the colors on the suit?
By rows? In patches? Or maybe in completely random order?

hey i just bought 2 yards of burlap with 380 feet of jute twine and i was wondering if i (instead of netting) use a two piece army suit with burlap strips(2 inches wide several inches apart) sown in along the front and back of the jacket/pant combo then using thin strips of burlap and twine (cut to apx 10 inch lengths ) that will overlap and break the outline(also dyed to blend in) now i’m only 14 and i’m only going to use this for paintball air soft etc. so will this be a good idea? thanks for the reply’s
